Discussion

Systematic review analyzes interoception across age groups in autism spectrum disorder, suggesting inconsistent outcomes.

No significant differences in cardiac interoceptive accuracy were found between adults with autism spectrum disorder and neurotypical controls.
The meta-analysis included five adult studies, revealing a p-value of .06 for cardiac interoceptive accuracy.
Assessment across children and adolescents showed varying interoceptive abilities, highlighting methodological diversity.
Findings stress the need for standardized methodologies and further research to explore interoceptive processing in autism spectrum disorder.

Klein et al. (2025) studied this question.
